Chapter I: Deliberations
Su Mengzhen stood on top of the main hall of the Divine Hall, glancing at one of His Highness's important ministers.
At this time, the sky is not bright, and under the reflection of the five-colored shark lanterns, the golden and brilliant palace shines brightly, making the stars and the moon eclipsed.
Su Mengzhen is in his forties, tall and thin, with a steep physique, Danfeng eyes are elegant, and he is wearing a green shirt, but his eyes are flickering, and he has a peerless overlord-like charm.
His palm was solemn, and he slowly placed it on the shoulders of the young man beside him, but the young man's posture was straight and motionless like a mountain.
This young man is dressed in an ordinary caftan brown, with high trouser legs, long hair and a shawl, and his clothes are very casual, but he can't hide his peerless handsome and beautiful face, and the charm between his facial features is quite similar to Su Mengzhen.
"From today on, Wu Feng is my Su Mengzhen's descendant disciple and the heir of my Divine Hall faction, do you have any objections?"
The tone is light, but it is full of irresistible majesty, which makes people tremble.
When the words came out, His Highness was silent.
Su Mengzhen thought that the dust had settled, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a man in blue and slowly stood up.
"Lin Xiuzhen, do you have anything to say?"
Lin Xiuzhen had a round face, a kind face, and her voice was a little timid, but it was as smooth as water: "Hall Master, you have already appointed Prince Su Can as your heir, why did you suddenly change your course? In this way, why did you convince tens of thousands of brothers in the Divine Hall?"
Su Meng's eyes moved slightly, and said, "When did I say that Li Can'er is the heir?"
Lin Xiuzhen continued: "Master Su, Master Su Can is your adopted son, and he is also a blood relative, with both ability and political integrity. The hall master has no biological son, and it is only natural that he will succeed to the throne with his adopted son. ”
When Su Mengzhen heard this, he turned his back with his hands on his back, and laughed for a long time, the sound was like a thunderbolt, and the dust on the top of the hall fell.
All the elders and important ministers were stunned by laughter for a while, not knowing what Su Mengzhen meant.
When the laughter stopped, Su Mengzhen said in a long voice: "Can'er is my adopted son, what about Guang'er?
Hearing this, everyone was surprised, remembering that Su Mengzhen had indeed never publicly announced that Su Can was his heir, but often lamented that this adopted son lacked the madness of a celebrity and was not enough to inherit the great cause of the Divine Hall, and only Su Mengzhen's wife often expressed her love for Su Can.
Su Guang and Su Can are both the sons of Su Mengzhen's cousins, the same clan of the Su family, and were adopted as adopted sons by Su Mengzhen, the childless god hall master. But Su Guang's talent was mediocre, and he was naturally ignored by the ministers, and Su Can, who was gentle and insightful, had never thought of this?
Su Mengzhen said again: "Besides, the position of the hall master back then was originally given to me by Senior Brother Wu Junhao, and our senior brothers were like brothers and sisters, as if they were one. Since his son has returned, the position of the hall master is still in the bloodline of the senior brother, so why not?"
The ministers looked at each other.
Older people know that Wu Junhao and Su Mengzhen were not only brothers and sisters back then, but they also looked almost identical for some reason, and the two brothers were shadow warriors of each other, and they could pretend to be each other with a little makeup.
Some people saw that Su Mengzhen loved this wild boy out of thin air so much, and they suspected that this Wu Feng was actually Su Mengzhen's illegitimate son. However, since Wu Junhao and Su Mengzhen are extremely similar in appearance, if it is said that Wu Junhao gave birth to a son after leaving the temple, it makes perfect sense.
Su Mengzhen's remarks made it difficult for the ministers to refute.
A few more people still wanted to argue, but they were easily refuted by Su Mengzhen, so the hall was silent.
The young man named Wu Feng pursed his thin lips and did not say a word. It's just that the pride in his eyes is like a sword of wind and snow, which makes His Highness even more cold to the bottom of his heart.
But in this silence, there was a tall figure suddenly standing, and his voice was like wind and thunder: "Master, Ruoxue still has objections!"
This time, it was a heroic girl who stood up to oppose it, her voice was extremely loud, like a bell, but it was as clear as a phoenix, without any harshness.
Ji Hongyan, small characters like snow, twenty years old. Su Mengzhen's disciple, martial arts, with a number of military exploits, was awarded more than 30,000 acres of land around Chai Tianzhuang.
Everyone knows that she has a very close personal relationship with Su Can's son, but she is also very favored by Su Mengzhen. If you want to keep Su Can's position as the heir and prevent the position of the first major sect of the Shenwu lineage in western Henan from falling into the hands of the wild boy, the last hope is on her.
"Say it. Su Mengzhen said softly, Ji Hongyan was watched by him since she was a child, and her treatment was naturally different from others.
"In terms of bloodline, Wu Feng is enough to assume this position. But the succession of the master of the temple is not only determined by bloodline. Su Can's son has made a lot of contributions to handling the internal affairs of his faction, and what credit does this wild boy from outside have?"
Ji Hongyan's eyes were like torches, and his sharp edge suddenly spat out, approaching Wu Feng's face.
She was so proud of her favor that she even scolded the hall master's newly selected successor as a wild boy, showing no mercy.
Su Mengzhen was completely angry, and said indifferently: "Last time, I offered a plan to provoke the internal strife of the Sanhe Sword Sect, seize Junyang City, and open the gap for our side to attack Xiangyang County, how about this achievement?"
It's okay not to say this, but after saying it, everyone became more and more angry in their hearts.
This wild boy not only fell asleep on the battlefield, but after waking up, in front of Su Mengzhen, he opened his mouth - "All the ministers present are all wine bags and rice bags"!
Almost all the ministers present at that time were Su Can's party, but I don't know if this Wu Feng was unintentional or intentional. Although the ministers knew afterwards that it was he who presented Bian Zhuang's plan to Su Mengzhen to stab the tiger, which caused the civil strife in Sanhe, and the army of the Shentang was able to take Junyang City lightly, they gritted their teeth with more hatred.
In the eyes of everyone, although this person is thin and talented, and he is very similar to Su Mengzhen in terms of recklessness and unruliness, he does not have Su Mengzhen's overlord atmosphere at all, and he is arrogant and conceited, but he is ten times better. If this person succeeds to the throne, the consequences are unimaginable.
Ji Hongyan has always been extremely conceited, not to mention that as a woman, she was insulted as a wine bag and rice bag, and she became more and more resentful, looking directly at Wu Feng's eyes, and forcing her with female power.
"Li Zhong, the master of the Three Rivers Sword Sect, is not a good general, and it is not enough to be brave when he is frustrated. Junyang City is not about the overall situation. Ji Hongyan said crisply: "It's insulting us to be wine bags and rice bags, Ruoxue wants an explanation." ”
In an instant, countless eyes turned to Ji Hongyan, all of which meant to show support.
Wu Feng was coerced by Ji Hongyan's gaze, and with his temperament, He Zeng was willing to let people, immediately look sideways, and return the favor with a glare.
But when I saw that this girl was still wearing steel armor, with a long knife hanging from her waist, she was covered with a sea blue coat, her long hair was tied up, and she was heroic.
He couldn't help but smile, as bright as the first sun.
Ji Hongyan saw the strange smile of the bewitching young man in front of him, but his mind suddenly froze, and he couldn't figure out the situation at all, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
Su Mengzhen threw a beam of loving gaze at Ji Hongyan to show comfort, but his expression immediately returned to his previous majesty, and said: "Come to think of it, many people are also like Ruoxue, thinking that Feng'er's success in Junyang City cannot convince the public, and it is not as good as Can'er's coordination power in these years. So, what if you can form an alliance with Tianzi Peak and unite the two strongest martial arts sects into one?"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
Previously, Su Mengzhen claimed to attack Tianzi Peak again, but four years ago, Su Mengzhen attacked Hanzhong and suffered a crushing defeat, and everyone was apprehensive and opposed it, and finally proposed to form an alliance with Tianzi Peak.
However, the strength of Tianzi Peak is far above that of the current Divine Hall, and if he wants to form an alliance, how can Xue Yiren, who is known as the "pit viper" and who is the best in the world in terms of military tactics and strategic calculations, agree? A month ago, Lin Tonggu sent an envoy for this matter, but he was in the dust.
The ministers said one after another: "If Wu Feng can successfully form an alliance with Tianzi Peak, there is nothing wrong with succession." ”
Su Mengzhen waved his hand sharply, and said in a cracked voice: "Okay! Since this is the case, I will immediately send someone to send an envoy again, asking for Xue Yiren's beloved daughter and Feng'er to be his wife, so that it is good to form an alliance; if this matter does not work, then the matter of the heir will be established, and Su will never mention it again!
The ministers dispersed.
Xue Yiren, a generation of heroes, ruthless in his methods, known as the "pit viper", imprisoned the master and seized the Tianzi Peak of the Great Sect for thousands of years, and forcibly married the master as his wife.
There are several sons, but there is only one daughter, named Xiyan, who is seventeen years old, and it is said that the elegance is peerless, and can make the stars and moon in the sky lose their color. Xue Yiren is extremely fond of him, and his eyes are the pearl in his palm.
Su Meng's pillow claimed that he wanted to marry Xue Xiyan as his new disciple Wu Feng, which made all the ministers of the Divine Hall surprised and unspeakable, and there were many discussions-this hall master, who has always acted frivolously, could it be that he has been mad again, and wants to humiliate himself?
But Su Mengzhen will do what he says, if this matter fails, he will never mention Wu Feng as the heir again.
Countless pairs of cold eyes, quietly watching the development of the situation.
